Psalm 51

51 This is a note for the worship leader: David wrote song prophet rebuked him sexual relations with another man’s wife,

1 Oh God, since you promised to faithfully love me,

please act mercifully toward me.

You gently love people in many ways,

so please forgive me for disobeying you so badly.

2 Remove my sin completely, as if it were dirt that you were washing off me

to make me clean.

3 I ask this because I know that I have disobeyed you in many ways.

I am continually aware of that.

4 What grieves me most is how I have sinned against you.

I have done things that you consider to be very wrong.

So when you declare that I am guilty, you are right.

When you judge me, you are completely fair.

5 Indeed, I have been a sinner from birth.

In fact, I have been a sinner since my mother conceived me.

6 I know that you want me to have honest intentions.

You help me understand very well how to act wisely.

7 Make me acceptable to you again,

as if you were using hyssop to sprinkle water on me to purify me.

Remove my sin as if it were dirt that you were washing off me.

Then I will be completely pure, like snow that has just fallen.

8 Please tell me that you have forgiven me.

That would make me very happy.

My guilt feels like a heavy weight on me,

but may I rejoice in your forgiveness.

9 Please forgive all the wrong things I have done

so that it will be as if I never did them.

10 O God, please make me want to do only things that please you.

Help me to be loyal to you consistently.

11 Please allow me to come into your presence.

Please do not make your Holy Spirit leave me.

12 Please save me from the guilt and punishment of my sin.

That will make me very happy again.

Please make me eager to obey you

so that I do not sin again.

13 Please make me so obedient that I can even teach people who are doing wrong things

how you want them to live instead.

That way people who have been disobeying you

will start obeying you again.

14 God, I admit that I deserve to die because I murdered someone,

but please rescue me from that punishment.

You can save me from the guilt and punishment of my sin because you are God.

When you do that, I will sing joyfully about how good you are.

15 Lord, please do these things so that I will have a reason to speak publicly

and say things to praise you.

16 If you had wanted me to offer a sacrifice because of the sin I committed,

I would certainly have done that.

But you do not accept burnt offerings

from people who bring them to try to make things right with you after committing murder.

17 What you really want is for people to pray to you in genuine humility and ask for forgiveness.

When a person is very sorrowful for his sin, you, God, do not reject him.

18 Please regard us Israelites favorably and help us.

Protect us from our enemies.

19 Then people will offer sacrifices to you for the right reasons.

They will bring animals that they will burn completely as offerings to you.

They will completely burn up young bulls on your altar.

You will gladly accept these sacrifices.
